Khabib looks unbeatable seriously...

With the right leverage control of the legs is going to stop someone from getting back up though which was the case here for me in several situations.

i agree with your main point but i saw a lot of situations where khabib didn’t have control of edson at all particularly up against the fence with his face a foot and a half away from edson’s knee. khabib’s hands weren’t clasped and his lock wasn’t above the hips. edson just froze and stood there. mentally he was not capable of standing up to khabib. maybe no one is. khabib is an incredible fighter. second best lightweight on the planet behind tony.
 
Would be so awesome to see him vs Ferguson. I’m not so sure he can impose his will like that on Tony who’s a great wrestler and bjj artist himself. Both are very unorthodox strikers, and while Tony is more technical, Khabib is effective with what he does. This is such an exciting matchup.

he looks incredibly beatable. no matter the skill level of a wrestler, proper undertook/sprawl technique can stop a takedown in a cage setting. at that point, you have to prepare for nonstop forward pressure. throw knees, teeps, uppercuts, straight punches. kick the body and legs. take away his power. if you get taken down, post and look to stand up ASAP. the longer you spend on the ground, the more damage you will take.

khabib is not the first fighter with his skillset. he probably won’t be the last. the technique involved in stopping him isn’t difficult at the elite level. everyone just seems to fight him at a mental disadvantage. don’t be scared of him. everyone knows what he’s gonna do. be prepared.

Easy landing elbows and spamming gogo's from the bottom when dudes are laying on top of you trying to get position. Khabib is in position when he takes you down. Id love to see what his striking accuracy is from top position its ridiculous.

Tony is imo the most dangerous fighter off his back in the division, has been finished only once like 10 years ago, has stayed active and kept winning against the best of the best and probably has the best resume in the division as well at this time, styles make fights and I think Tonys style plus physical attributes make him a nightmare for anyone even Khabib, I dont see Khabib controlling him at all like he did to Barboza, not at all but I guess we shall find out, hopefully!
 
I want to see him fight a wrestler with d1 level experience, would love to see him go up against Kevin Lee.

the look on Barbozas face when it sunk in that he was not winning.....palpable.

It's funny because Rogan has said stuff like that before and I don't really see what he's talking about. This time though you could see it clear as day Barboza just had a WTF look on his face.

Actually Kevin got fucked up badly by Tonys elbows, he said himself it was the elbows that fucked him up and cost him the fight, if you want i'll dig up the podcast where he says this, also yeah I know he had staph, not Tonys fault and to be honest I think Tony wins that fight 9/10 times that night no matter what that night, Many top fighters with different styles have tried to beat Tony in the last couple years and many have been destroyed,

can sit here and argue about it forever ofcourse until they fight :D its the time of El Cucuy imo !

Only Tibau has made Khabib look human, and Tibau statistically has the best TDD in the history of MMA.

Didn't realize he said that I always assumed it was the staph\gassing. Either way IMO Tony is just to wild and loose on the ground. People like that have always been easy to control\manipulate with guys who have strong fundamentals like Khabib. Like you said though we wont know until they fight.
 
Where is the proof of this elite chin ? Lol that spinning kick by Barboza , he was moving and fatigued how much power could he actually generate from it ?
